Times you felt sorry for Angelica


The Tricycle Thief--Susie went WAY too far in that one. Yes Angelica may be a spoiled brat but that's because of her parents. Susie could've easily gotten her tricycle back from Angelica if she really did steal it, but Angelica wouldn't have gotten Cynthia back. I felt really bad for her when she cried. She does have feelings too. (I've had the displeasure of knowing some people who are the opposite--they are wolves in sheep's clothing, meaning they have a nice exterior but deep down they're pure evil) Also I'm sure Drew would've flipped out at Susie's parents. If it were real life, either the balloon would be weighted down, or the doll wouldn't fall directly into my arms, and somehow untie itself from the balloon. lol.

Superhero Chuckie--I don't blame Chuckie for getting mad at Angelica for stealing his ball but she really could've gotten hurt when he pushed her into the wall and she fell on the fire truck. I hope Didi was able to comfort Angelica. lol maybe I feel bad for Angelica because she's a girl and she started crying. I would've just took her Cynthia doll in retaliation.

Those are the only 2 I can really think of. There's times where she deserved what she got.



Like the proverbial cheese, I stand alone. Even while seated.

TBH I did feel sorry for Angelica in the episode where they were playing "Pirates" because I thought Didi overreacted by getting mad at her for no reason

One episode even ended with Angelica being accidentally handcuffed to her bed.
She had just told Chuckie to leave her alone in a really bitchy manner.
And thus, he didn't come back to her even though she screamed for his help.
Sure, it is true that she had taken the handcuffs without permission and been mean to Chuckie.
Which is probably why the writers thought that she deserved this.
And also, it is very likely that her parents heard her screaming and helped her right after the episode ended.
But still, that was a creepy way to end an episode of a mostly light-hearted cartoon.

That time she had to leave summer camp just when she was starting to like it.

I agree with you on both of these. I was recently rewatching the original three seasons and was actually taken aback by the ending of Superhero Chuckie. It seemed too "real" for the show when Chuckie pushed her so hard and she went flying on that wagon and hit the wall. I actually felt really bad for her when she ran away crying. Yeah, she was being a brat, but it was far from the worst thing she did throughout the series. It seemed undeserved and one of the few times where the babies were in the wrong.

Also, absolutely with Tricycle Thief. Susie was really nasty to her and nearly cost her something very dear when she could have very easily just asked her parents where her tricycle was. When Angelica cried seeing Cynthia flying away, it broke my heart.
